...Queen. She did. I sort of thought it was Oscar de la Renta who ignited that. He gave an interview to Women's Wear Daily where he basically said, No one wears a sweater to see the Queen, or something like that. Then he [said] that she was using these young designers and he doesn't understand why she doesn't use the old masters. He was a little ticked about it. I think his feelings were hurt.

"We do not need these planes," Obama said on July 13 in letters to Levin and McCain. (See pictures of Obama...
...Democratic senators - who outnumber their minority colleagues 12-7 - spent much of the day alternatively praising Sotomayor and attacking the Roberts-led court. In fact, Roberts was mentioned more often (16 times) than empathy (10 mentions), which Republicans tried over and over again to use as a line of attack against the nominee.
